CONTENTS

Message from the Chancellor Our Ponnaiyah Ramajayam Institute of Science and Technology (PRIST), a Deemed University U/s 3 of the UGC Act 1956, is one of the renowned units of Ponnaiyah Ramajayam Institutions, which are serving for more than 25 years in promoting quality education and research for our Indian community, since its inception as Ram Institute of Computer Science and Technology in the year 1985. The main purpose of bringing such an institute was to introduce computer education to the people of Thanjavur District for the first time. The institution is now brimming with many social responsibilities, particularly in promoting quality education through research. Our research and development (R&D) unit at PRIST University is young, dynamic, and marching forward with remarkable achievements of more than 670 publications in peer-reviewed national and international journals in the last 5 years and coming-up with many patents to its credit. Prospering in world-class research on thrust areas of specific subjects that can provide solutions with a positive impact on the quality of human life, solutions to day-to-day challenges, and contribute to the knowledge expansion is our vision. PRIST joined hands with leading international Universities of high repute in the US, the UK, Korea, Japan, Israel, and China to achieve its mission. Research grants from Department of Science and Technology (DST), Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO), World Noni Research Foundation, (WNRF), Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), DST-Government of India and Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST) at Republic of Korea are the significant recognitions of our research progress. Therefore, I strongly believe that our R&D is on the right track in achieving its vision.
